Description
Located in the Western Hajar Mountains, it has a prominence of around 300 m (980 ft) from its parent peak, Jebel Qihwi, which is on the other side of the border in Musandam Governorate, Oman. The highest point in the UAE is Jebel Jais near Ras al-Khaimah at about 1,910 m (6,270 ft), however, its summit is also in Musandam Governorate in Oman, meaning that whereas Jabal Jais has the highest point in the UAE, the highest peak in the UAE is that of Jabal Al Mebrah.[1]
A military station is located on the summit making the peak out of access, however, an asphalt road has been built up from wadi Tawian, with many villages along the sides and tracks continuing further into the mountains. Initially this allowed public access to within 400 m (1,300 ft) of the military station, around 100 m (330 ft) below. Since 2016 however, a military check point at the bottom of the mountain has prevented access to the public by road altogether.
